I'd say, a very pale Urophora solstitialis.

U. stylata always has the 2 apical crossbands fused, U. affinis has the stigmal crossband more or less complete and the preapical crossband lesser washed at anterior margin and the apical crossband wider separated from it; in addition, this fly has longer oviscape (in affinis it is not visible beu\yond the wings. And the final reason: it observes a flower bud of Carduus or Cirsium, but not Centaurea (Acrolophus), the host of affinis. Val |

In Merz (1994) it says indeed, that in U. stylata the two apical crossbands always are fused, but Smit (2010) mentions, that they are mostly fused, and I think he's right. Every now and then I see U. stylata with very reduced wingmarkings and the apical crossbands not fused, so I think it's not very unusual. Ben Edited by Ben Hamers on 27-11-2015 20:32 |

There I see similar U.stylata to that on my photo. But I see that it's not easy to identify. |
